Other iPhone 14/15/16(???) battery capacity situation, collapse or overreaction - same to be expected on 16 series?

[Carlsberg69]

Hi all, since especially the 14 series, what’s going on with the battery capacity situation?? Seen many owners being very upset about capacity going down in the eighty region, both on 14 and 15 series, after a year… My own 14 PM is at 87% after 1,5 y, and I’m not bothered since the phone keeps performing more or less as usually. Have seen posts by especially many 14P/PM and 15P/PM series owners upgrading because of this fact of degraded battery capacity. As everyone can see the numbers on there phones many years back now, in comparison, right or wrong, it looks like a very degrading trend? Should Apple have made them visible at all, very transparent but misleading? Can we except the same or worse on the 16 series? What’s your thoughts?

It’s normal wear and tear based on your usage. I’m hard on my phone and it’s down to 93%, it’s a 15P. All lithium batteries do this, as does my car. Goes down roughly 10% first year then levels off to a slower level. Chemistry is what it is.

Have you heard of normal wear and tear ?

It's normal.

All my devices (Macbook, iPad, AW, iPhone, Chromebook, Surface pro, etc) and my EV cars all degrade capacity over time.

I’m not really sure I understand your question, and quite aware that all Ion Lithium batteries degrade over time, it wasn’t about what I think. As I wrote, there is a huge amount of posts here on MR where IP14/15 owners are quite upset with what they believe is too much of a degradation, then expected. I guess these reactions will continue, maybe increase, through the 16 series, but I hope not.
